Water Baby

On my trip to Coron with Geo, and her uncle, Cathz and Fred, Uncle Allan brought up his "element"--which si wood, pertaining to the bracelets he was wearing then. This (like horoscopes! ;p) sparked my interest, making me curious as to what my element most probably be. Cathz said there's a facebook quiz on this (hahaha), Uncle Allan said that basing on your interests, views, etc...you can actually determine if you are a wood, water, air, earth, fire, etc. Cathz said I'm a water. =D

I'll give a thousand reasons why I feel like a "water baby"--from as mababaw as "I drink all the time--water, coffee, alcohol, whathaveyou" ... to as deep as being a "go with the flow" person ... to the obvious reason, as my sign is Aquarius and Water Buffalo (in Chinese Astrology).

Notes from astrology.about.com:

The Water Element in Astrology:

Those with planets in Water signs are often assessing a situation by its undercurrents.It can give them an air of being aloof or even shy at first, but they're the warmest of souls when you've won their trust.Going forward in a relationship or situation often means being sure of their emotional ground, a kind of decision-making process that is baffling to others. Their perceptions border on psychic, but these insights get clouded by the intensity of feelings, or are altered by the vivid imagination.

The nuances of feeling experienced by Water signs can lead them into the arts. Some find release from their own personal dramas when they're able to express them as universal. As writers, musicians and actors, they help others make sense of the human experience. But this also happens in everyday life, since Water signs soften the edges of the mundane by padding it with emotional meaning.

Water is a formless element on its own, and that's why those with this sign are so quickly shaped by their relationships to others. They need time alone to remember where they end and others begin. And to let what's been stirred up by life find its way to a quiet calm again. These are people who need people, but also need the restoring space of solitude.

Started the 2nd book of the Percy Jackson series (Sea of Monsters! I finally found a copy! :))
The book rekindled my love for Mythology way back in high school. :) I can't wait for the movie (Lightning Thief!) which will show, I think, this Saturday! :D
